Syntax Highlighting in the Markdown Editor

Oxygen XML Author supports syntax highlighting in the Markdown editor to make it easier to read the semantics of the structured content by displaying each type of XML code in different colors and fonts.
Note: For Markdown documents that contain code from other languages, those blocks are rendered with proper syntax highlights to make them more distinguishable. The languages that are rendered with syntax highlights within Markdown documents include JavaScript, JSON, YAML, XML, Java, Python, and CSS.
To customize the colors or styles used for the syntax highlighting colors for Markdown documents, follow these steps:
  1. Open the Preferences dialog box (Options > Preferences).
  2. Go to Editor > Syntax Highlight.
  3. Select and expand the Markdown section in the top pane.
  4. Select the component you want to change and customize the colors or styles using the selectors to the right of the pane.
You can see the effects of your changes in the Preview pane.
